Korean Air’s special task force and guests from Airbus at a commemorative ceremony at the carrier’s Tech Center in Busan
South Korea’s national carrier has commenced production of Sharklets – an ‘L’ shaped structure attached at the end of the wings of A320 and A330 aircrafts and designed solely by Korean Air – for the Airbus A330 NEO. According to Korean Air, the Sharklet plays an essential role in improving aircraft performance, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, air resistance and improving fuel efficiency.
Korean Air has been delivering more than 1,800 independently re-developed A320 NEO Sharklets since 2009 and will commence deliveries for the A330 NEO variants.
